Default Window in a Cheiftec Full Tower...help?

Hey, first post...and a question for whoever can help me out.

Here's what im trying to do. Right now I've got an old skool dragon tower (like the antec SOHO file cases), with a window, and its watercooled.

Ever since I watercooled my system, it basicly doesn't move anymore, so I figured some nice modding was in store. At the same time, I want to upgrade my case size, since again, it doesn't move.

I"m going to be painting the full tower Corvette LeMans Blue, clearcoat and all. It should be beautiful.

Problem is...I want a window in the case, and I can't seem to find anything that would work! Nobody makes a case side w/ a window for this case, and I'm not sure what window kit would work nicely.

What can I do?!?! This is the only thing thats holding me back, and I NEED THIS WINDOW, and I wanna finish this project! Someone send me in the right direction. Thanks!

This is the case that I need the window on:

Blahhhh all this talk about kits...
What ever happened to the modding spirit around here? You don't need a kit to make a kick azz window bro..Cut your own design out with a dremel or saw of choice....use some door edge molding to cover the rough cuts if you get any and pick up some plexi at the hardware store....Double sided tape holds it in

Edited....Sorry I was in one of my a$$hole moments...Didn't mean to lash at ya guy....Just depressed that everyone depends on the kits anymore...Thanks for bringing it to my attention BA

Relax, DW. This guy is wanting to learn and he came to the right place.

What you need is a dremel with a good cutting wheel, some plexi, and some time. When you are ready we will give you a hand. All of us have cut up our cases now and then, sometimes to the extreme. Just check out our gallery.
